Do ModuleScripts copy a table or point to it?
Recently, I have been making a ModuleScript that handles the behavior of multiple buttons. However, I started to wonder more about how ModuleScripts work. Do ModuleScripts return a copy of the table in a ModuleScript or point to the table in the module?
For example:
01 | -- ModuleScript |
02 | local module = {} |
03 |
04 | local val = math.random(2, 10) |
05 |
06 | module.PathToPart = workspace.Part |
07 |
08 | module.ClearUnnamedParts = function() |
09 | local desc = workspace:GetDescendants() |
10 | for _, descendant in desc do |
11 | if descendant.Name == "Part" then |
12 | descendant:Destroy() |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end |
16 |
17 | return module |
18 |
19 | -- Does this code get copied whenever required? |
20 | -- If not, are there any exceptions, like local variables? |

Point. Kind of like a global variable. PhantomVisual 992 — 5y
